Why you need Family Five
Great things happen when your family sets high expectations and supports your child's learning at home. Their motivation to do better in school improves. They gain confidence. They are more likely to continue their education after high school. Unfortunately, a national survey found only 22% of parents "can name a basic milestone that their child should have learned in school over the previous year." (1)  So it can be tough to set high expectations and work on learning at home if you are unaware of what your child is learning at school 

Teachers tell us they don't have the time or training to fully support their student's families. Parents agree. Another national parent survey found that 59% of parents report they have never received a phone call from school about their child, and 43% of families have never received an email about their child (2).

If you aren't sure how to help your preschool to 2nd grade student, Family Five can help. It will show you how to set high expectations and work on learning activities at home, so your child excels in school and develops a love of learning!

No need to wait weeks or months for an updated newsletter or meeting at school to learn how to help your child.

Created by Teachers, with Input from Families

Video Lessons are made by classroom teachers, but we start by talking with families. Parent feedback is ongoing and gathered during each stage of development. Families tell us what they need to know and how they prefer to learn it. We create new Family Five content based on the needs of your family.

Help for parents of struggling, on-grade level and gifted students

Family Five videos explain what your child is expected to learn in school. If your child is an advanced 1st grade student, you can see what they will be learning next year and offer them a challenge. If they struggling with third grade material, you can review all the skills they should have learned through the 2nd grade and refresh those skills.

Actionable Home Learning Tips

Families have two requests: Tell me exactly what to do and make it simple. Videos give you actionable tips that easily fit into the home routine. Video lessons use parent friendly language, without the education jargon. The learning tips only require items commonly found around the home, like toys and food items.
